Hi Chris, I have open angle Glaucoma in my right eye (diagnosed July last year) small amount of sight loss in that eye. Left eye no Glaucoma, optic nerve , field test all ok but pressure were slightly high so diagnosed as ocular hypertension in that eye. I’m hoping it does not develop in my good eye. So far so good.

I wonder if it does regardless if taking drops etc. fingers crossed for both of us

I am taking one drop of Latanoprost in that eye just to keep the pressures low, it’s working so far. Glaucoma is a worrying condition and I am just grateful I only have it in one eye. My father also had Glaucoma only in one eye so it is possible we may be lucky in that respect.

How old are you Kiara I’m 46

[Kiara-52 in reply to ChrisNorthEast]

I am 53 , was 52 when diagnosed. Would have preferred to have been older before I got it (or not got it at all!) but hey ho that’s how it goes.
